The Feminist Hermeneutics of the Bible (FHB) program unit will offer and/or co-sponsor the following four sessions at the 2024 annual meeting.
Session 1: Open Call for Papers:
The Feminist Hermeneutics of the Bible program unit issues an open call for papers. Papers that use feminist, womanist, Latina/x and/or other cognate ideological frames to read biblical texts are encouraged. Special consideration will be given to papers that apply these hermeneutics to their reading and interpretation of the Bible.
Session 2: Galatians 3:28 in Feminist and Womanist Perspectives:
The Feminist Hermeneutics of the Bible and the Paul and Politics program units present Galatians 3:28 in Feminist and Womanist Perspectives. This invited panel of feminist and womanist scholars will enhance our understanding of this critical text by bringing to bear intersectional approaches that engage gender, race and sexuality.
Session 3: Masculinity Studies in Biblical Scholarship: Feminist, Womanist, and Queer Assessments:
The Feminist Hermeneutics of the Bible and the LGBTI/Queer Hermeneutics program units present Masculinity Studies in Biblical Scholarship: Feminist, Womanist, and Queer Assessments. This invited panel will focus upon current trends in masculinity studies in the field of biblical studies with special attention to what feminist, womanist, and queer interpretations bring to the topic.

The Feminist Hermeneutics of the Bible program unit is co-sponsoring the Latino/a/e and Latin American Biblical Interpretation's invited panel on the impact and influence of the work of the late queer performance theorist José Esteban Muñoz on the study of religion and sexuality.
